New Product Review – Southern Recipe Pork Rinds

**PLEASE NOTE: While Southern Recipe DID provide me with these products to review at no cost, I was not in any way paid for my review. The following opinion is hereby my own.**

A lovely package arrived on my doorstep the other day. It was a box full of pork rinds.

My husband was almost as excited as I was.

Four flavors of pork rinds! Pork rinds from Southern Recipe!

Now, being that we live in Florida, and being that we were both raised in the SOUTH…we know food from the South when we try it!

Did you know pork rinds have nine times the protein & less fat than you’ll find in a serving of potato chips? (Fun little fact I found out on the Southern Recipe Facebook page! And honestly, check out their Facebook page, because they even give recipes you can use the pork rinds in! So creative!)

We received:

Bar-B-Q, Salt & Vinegar, Hot & Spicy and Sweet BBQ flavors.

Being the Southerners we are, we went for the Bar-B-Q first!

Not bad, but not quite as much of that BBQ flavor that we were looking for.

Having never seen Salt & Vinegar pork rinds before, we decided to try these next.

These were pretty interesting! I’m not a fan of salt and vinegar chips, but if I was, I would like this! The mix of flavors is spot on!

Now, we are NOT hot and spicy people, so we decided to branch out and try those next, just for fun.

We both ate one and our exact words to each other were…”Oh. That’s not bad.”

Until about 2 seconds later when we were scrambling for some water. WOW. Be careful! They are definitely hot and spicy!

Definitely our favorite ended up being the Sweet BBQ.

Great flavor, and the perfect blend of sweet and BBQ!

Now, I’ll tell ya – pork rinds are not my favorite thing in the world. But I have eaten them a time or two, and what I like about these pork rinds is that they’re nice and light, and don’t have any greasy residue! They’ve got the perfect consistency, as far as I’m concerned!

Boy are you right about southerners knowing their BBQ. I trust you if you recommend the sweet bbq as the best. I wouldn’t normally go for the pork rinds but i may pick up a bag if i see them the next time I’m shopping.

Sooo funny because my mom just bought these over the weekend, for her to snack on while she was in town, and she accidentally left them behind when she went home. Hubs has been eating them and kept talking about how good they were lol

I don’t eat pork rinds but my son loves them. We live in New York State and when we travel down South (once a year) we bring some home. I’ve never seen a salt & vinegar flavor but my son would prefer BBQ.

I haven’t had pork rinds in a long time. Not because I don’t like them, but because I totally forgot about them. I remember loving the plain flavor, so I am sure I would really love these yummy flavors!

We used to have pork rinds in the cabinet regularly for snacking (as well as using as a substitute for crackers in recipes) but we ate so much of them, we haven’t tried them recently. I bet the spicy ones would be great in meatloaf!

I haven’t had pork rinds in AGES!!! I had no idea they had salt-n-vinegar (my favorite kind of chip!). Thanks for the health info. I didn’t know pork rinds could be healthier than potato chips! I may have to give them a second look!
